The SAVE America Act is Bad News for Republicans

Consider: Roughly half of Americans, Republican and Democrat, do not have a passport and would have to pay to get one.

Millions of Americans in both parties, especially older citizens, do not have ready access to their birth certificates. Having to register or re-register to vote in person would present a severe disadvantage to disabled people and millions of rural Americans, who are mostly Republicans.

Millions of American women who took their husband's name when married " many of whom vote Republican " would have to hunt down their birth certificate or pay for a new one.

"At least one top Republican tried to explain this to Trump.

In 2020, then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told Axios he had warned Trump that his party could be "screwed" by his fight against vote-by-mail. "

We could lose based on that," said McCarthy. Trump ignored him and is now beating the anti-vote-by-mail drum louder than ever.

When you add it all up, the consequences are clear. With passage of the so-called SAVE America Act, Republicans will not solve a widespread problem of voter fraud, since no such problem exists. But they will disenfranchise millions of their own voters."
